Home Care/HospiceThe compassionate Home Care/Hospice staff at the New Ulm Medical Center deliver in-home services for those with acute illness, prolonged health conditions, permanent disability or terminal illness. Services include:
Our supportive team consists of a broad spectrum of specialties including nurses, home health aides and homemakers, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, a social worker, a chaplain and volunteers. During what can be a stressful time not only for the patient but the entire family, our goal is to provide compassionate care thereby bringing peace and comfort to all who may be affected by the patient’s illness. Office hours for the Home Care Department are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and a nurse is on call evenings, weekends and holidays. The New Ulm Medical Center Home Care and Hospice program is licensed by the State of Minnesota, is Medicare Certified and is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital Organizations (JCAHO). Allina Home Care, Hospice & Palliative Care offers compassionate care, support and comfort to people with advanced illness or at the end-of-life and the loved ones caring for them. Our mission is to honor the wishes of patients and families and in doing so bring peace and dignity. We’re the largest not-for-profit hospice in Minnesota serving over 3,000 patients and family members a year. We provide over 48,000 visits a year. Make a gift.
Advance Care PlanningAdvance Care Planning is intentional conversations with someone about your wishes for medical care. This takes away the guess work from your future caregivers. It provides information that others need to know if you become unable to make decisions due to a medical condition that leaves you unable to speak for yourself. It allows you to communicate the kind of care you want and the kind of care you do not want, leaving no questions about your care. When you put these wishes in writing, this kind of plan is called an Advance Directive. |
